About Me

I thought it was time I updated this a bit as it was way back ing 2011 when I first started my blog and crafting.
Married to Alistair for now for almost 22 years, who puts up with my ever expanding craft area.
I have 1 lovely son and daughter in law, and various grandpets.
I am never seen without some kind of knitting going on and if not that, it's cardmaking. I have recently started trying my hand at mixed media and sewing.
I sing with the Inverness Choral Society, which I love.
I also love where I live, the Highlands of Scotland.
Oh, and I love Autumn, it's my favourite season with all the fantastic shades of brown and gold, the crispness of the air, and the cosy nights indoors.
And the best bit ever.. is that I'm now lucky enough to be RETIRED!!

Flowering Baroque Heart, and the next James Bond?!

Hello to you all and hoping you are well and enjoying your day. We have sunshine and some warmth and Alistair and Bill are off to walk in the Cairngorms, so he will come back whacked but happy. I've been getting on with clearing out my drawers,a task I've been putting off for ages, but I was given some beautiful drawer liners for Mother's day, so I thought I'd better use them.Thank you all for visiting me and leaving those lovely comments. Now for my card;

Using another CB stamp, this one is called Flowering Baroque Heart, it's beautiful and it's coloured with Starlights, first being embossed with Wow copper embossing powder.I've used some of the free papers that Lesley from CB designs and embossed some card with a SB musical score folder. Added a crocheted butterfly, inked with Colour Cloud,a wee bit of gold lace and some pearls.I thought I would show you some of the other things my very own Action Man gets up to when he's let loose;

Ang...Mrs Duck calls him The Milk Tray Man, me well I think he's auditioning for the next James Bond movie. Some of the places he and Bill get to are totally amazing.

Off now to see Milo,I will be visiting your blogs later on, take care,

Beautiful card Kate! I love all the pink and the glittery bits!! So I'm fairly new to your blog and just wondering if Action Man is your hubby or your son? Either way, I shall call him Crazy Man!! tee hee. hugs :)

It's a lovely card, Kate. The subtle music score looks so pretty with the heart, (and I don't know what Starlights are - new product?). I'm loving a lot of the Wow EP's, and what a perfect color combo to try the copper. The delicate crochet butterfly looks wonderful with the pretty heart too. Enjoyed the picture of Action Man. He must be very adventurous. I bet he has such fun! TFS & Hugs (oh yes, glad you had some happy sunshine too!)

The card is so very pretty!!Oh my Lord Kate - are those pictures really of Alistair!?! They are scaring me half to death!!! What a sport he is. I think I am doing something when I walk from the couch to the refrigerator!!Sandy xx
